WHY, WHO, AND HOW TTIP

WHY A RE-ENTRY PROGRAM

When prisoners in the United States are released, they face an environment that is challenging and actively deters them from becoming productive members of society. Within three years of release, 67.8 percent of ex-offenders are rearrested, and within five years, 76.6 percent are rearrested. With people incarcerated in the United States, recidivism harms both the families of inmates and society in general, as taxpayers continue to support a broken system that sets ex-offenders up to fail once they are released.

The Congressional Research Service defines recidivism as “the re-arrest, reconviction, or re-incarceration of an ex-offender within a given time frame.” Because of systemic legal and societal barriers, once ex-offenders are released, it is more difficult for them compared to the general populace to find gainful employment, secure a consistent source of housing, and generally function in society. Often viewed as sub-citizens, ex-offenders are perpetually punished for crimes. The causes of these restrictions are systemic and affect ex-offenders at all levels of society.

WHY TTIP

Operating since 2021, Transitional Training Impact Program (T.T.I.P.) facilitates comprehensive reentry and reintegration services to men, women, and young adults who are about to leave various segments of the criminal justice system.

The focus is to assist with the pretrial intervention program (PTI) and to empower and equip men, women, and young adults with 120 days or less on their sentence to help them successfully reenter mainstream society. Our creative approach is to encourage and provide life skills and societal wisdom to each person who participates in the TTIP Program. Our process is grounded in the idea that with the proper education and opportunities, these men and women who are reentering society can overcome the many barriers they face that the incarceration experience can create, and gain significant life skills to help them live a very productive life.
